Roman Holiday Time-Restricted Quest and Italian Gelato Collections Mission



 (Two screenshots from the Film, showing the actual inspiration for the two Reward Decorations in the Quest: the Mouth of Truth and the Vespa)

Friday traditionally is the day for the release of a new time-restricted Quest in Family Farm Seaside, and even though the hefty Mini-Garden Quest is current, we do have a new time-restricted Quest sequence and Collections Mission.  In this case, the Reward for the Collections Mission is one of those Collectables, which means that you cannot purchase it in the Market at this point, making it necessary to complete the Collections if you want to be able to complete the traditional Quest sequence without skipping any tasks.

As usual, there are special Rewards after you complete Roman Holiday IV, Roman Holiday VIII and Roman Holiday XII.  The first is a Special Missions Bag containing Farm Aids.  After you complete Roman Holiday VIII, you will receive a Bocca della Verita Decoration for your Seaside Farm.  To complete the final part of the Quest sequence, you need access to the Island and the reward for completing Roman Holiday XII is a Vespa Scooter Decoration for the Island.

History of the Roman Holiday:
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

This is a famous vintage film from 1953 that starred Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck.   I had the privilege of meeting Gregory Peck when he was staying with his wife Veronique in London in the 1970s.  My best friend's Mum was a great friend of Veronique.  Gregory Peck was a man with incredible presence.  Unlike many male leads, he was a tall man in real life.  We got on like a house on fire, mainly because we both had lived in La Jolla as children, albeit in different decades!  In any case, this Quest references the film and you will see Felicia dressed like Audrey Hepburn.  I am not really a fan of films from the 1950s myself but it always is interesting to see where the developers get their ideas.

Preparing for the Quest
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

There are far more time-restricted activities and quests now in Family Farm Seaside than ever before.  You have the Daily Order Board which, depending on your level of experience, can sport 2 to 5 Orders per day.  You have the Mini-Garden weekly quest that requires prodigious amonuts of Crops and Cooking as well as other tasks.  You have the Weekly Activity that gives 10 Yellow Mystrons and this 11 day Quest sequence as well.  A player must weigh the options and choose the ones that he/she feels will be most beneficial.  If you are a high level player, you should be able to complete all of them, provided you have the time and energy to stay in the game for hours.  If you are a low level player, I would suggest that you complete as many of the tasks as possible for the Coin and XP rewards, but do not expect to make it to the end, unless you are willing to spend quite a lot of real money to skp tasks.  As you gain in levels, you will be able to perform more and more of the time-restricted Quests but for now, simply complete the steps that you can.

Items you will need in quantity include Oat Flour, Goose Feathers, Cake Flour, Condensed Milk and Soft Dough.  You always should have quite a lot of Cake Flour, Batter, Condensed Milk and Soft Dough in your Barn as they are used again and again for many different Recipes.  The Mini Garden Quest this week required quite a lot of Cooking so you may need to restock.

One of your first tasks should be to make certain that you have 6 Starfish Mirrors and then transport them to the Island.  Even though you will not need them until later in the Quest sequence, it is good to have them there waiting for the moment when you can use them.  Make certain that you have 6 Wooden Planks as well.  You make those in the Sawmill with Cedar Wood.

The Jackfruit is a Seaside Tree, so you need to make certain that you have 8 of the fruits transported to the Island to store in your Barn there for use in one of the Quest tasks.  I do believe some Mastery of the Dehydrator is required to make Dried Jackfruit so if you have not done so, use your Dehydrator as much as possible to earn the required Mastery points.

In the final task group, you need to produce 60 Wool Yarn.  This means that you have to make certain that you have transported 60 Wool to the Island in advance.

As far as the traditional Quest sequence is concerned, bear in mind the fact that Roman Holiday VI requires that you place a Caper Bush on your Farm.  This means, in effect, that you should complete the Collections Mission by the time you reach Roman Holiday VI.  Certainly, you need to complete it by the time you have harvested the 50 Spinach required as another task in Roman Holliday VI.  Fishing 10 times with the Treble Hook, unless you wish to purchase more fishing tries with RC, will require a bit of a wait once you have fished 7 times.  That gives you more time to complete the Collections Mission...
